800 steering problems

[Nick in Kansas]

I am sure this has been talked about before, but I can't find it. On my 800, I have a terrible time turning to the left. REALLY hard to straighten back out if I turn right real sharp. I talked to an old Case mechanic this morning, and he says to put a used steering box on, since trying to rebuild the old one is next to impossible. Just wondering if there is something else I am missing. When I started running it yesterday, the power steering worked both directions, but soon started getting harder to turn to the left, the eventually to the right, and it felt like the steering was actually "locking" up turning to the left. Any thoughts are welcomed.

Nick, had same problem with my 800 with power steering last summer. I loosend the nuts on the steering arms on both spindels greased them real good then tighten them back up. It took about a day of running to get them retightend correctly but no more steering problems. Ialso rebuilt my power steering box a couple of years ago due to leaks and had no problems other than haveing to make a few seals that were no longer available
